Introduction

The goal of this post is to list in progress courses on linkedin learning ordered by the remain time to finish.

First you need to access the page https://www.linkedin.com/learning/me/my-library/in-progress and scroll down until its end.

Then execute the snippet below in the Source tab of Google Chrome browser:

courses = [];
[...document.getElementsByClassName('in-progress-body__card')].forEach(e=>{
    title = '';
    author = '';
    url = '';
    released = '';
    remainTime = 0;

    h3 = e.getElementsByClassName('lls-card-detail-card-body__headline')[0];
    if (h3) {
        title = h3.innerText;
        url = h3.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href;
    }

    ul = e.getElementsByClassName('lls-card-detail-card-body__primary-metadata')[0];
    if (ul) {
        a = ul.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
        if (a) {
            author = a.innerText;
        }
        released = ul.getElementsByClassName('lls-card-released-on')[0].innerText;
        released = released.replace(/\D/g, "");
    }

    spanremainTime = e.getElementsByClassName('lls-card-duration')[0];
    if (spanremainTime) {
        remainTimeTxt = spanremainTime.innerText;
        console.log(remainTimeTxt);
        const remainTimeRE3 = /(?<hour>\d+)h (?<min>\d+)m (?<sec>\d+)s left/;
        const remainTimeRE2 = /(?<min>\d+)m (?<sec>\d+)s left/;

        result = remainTimeTxt.match(remainTimeRE2);
        if (result) {
            remainTime = parseInt(result[1]);
        }

        result = remainTimeTxt.match(remainTimeRE3);
        if (result) {
            remainTime = parseInt(result[1]) * 60;
            remainTime += parseInt(result[2]);
        }
    }

    elem = {
        released: released,
        author: author,
        title: title,
        link: url,
        remainTime: remainTime
    }
    courses.push(elem);
}
);

// sort by date desc
courses.sort((e1,e2)=>(e1.released < e2.released) ? 1 : (e1.released > e2.released) ? -1 : 0);

// sort by remainTime asc
courses.sort((e1,e2)=>(e1.remainTime > e2.remainTime) ? 1 : (e1.remainTime < e2.remainTime) ? -1 : 0);

md = ''
courses.forEach(e=>md += `* ${e.remainTime} min | ${e.released} | [${e.title}](${e.link})\n`);
console.log(md);
copy(md);

After running the code above a list of courses will be on the clipboard.
